Biography
Shar-Kali-Sharri was the son of Naram-Sin of Akkad, and he succeeded his father as King of the Akkadian Empire in 2217 BC. Problems which had originated in his father's reign quickly mounted, and eventually shattered the empire, which had only begun a century earlier, culminating in the overrunning of Sumer and Akkad by the Gutians in the east. It was said that Naram-Sin had angered the chief god Enlil by plundering his temple at Nippur, so Enlil repaid the destruction of his temple by destroying the Akkadian capital and sending the Gutians from the Zagros Mountains to invade. In addition, an apocalyptic drought caused the destruction of several civilizations at the time.
